Marathon let me know that he'll get his up this evening.

sharpie Nov 01 2005 05:44 PM

John Stearns channels his inner Mick Jagger in: CATCHER Gloom, despair and much ennui Were all a-thriving in ‘80 But look at me, I still matter I’ze the catcher (Catcher) The fans were so alarming They found the team not charming All they want are homer parties, over the fence Big apple Coming out of fake top hat Then six years after Mets back in fashion Carter, Straw and Raffy S. and Mex and Mex and Mex and Mex But look at me, I still matter I was a catcher (Catcher) All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter ‘bout Piazza, Piazza, Piazza, Piazza – I can’t give it away on Willets Point Avenue This town’s forgetting batters (catcher, catcher) Work and work for crappy Mets But fans too hungry for success, success, success, success Does it matter? Does it matter? I’m a catcher. Ah, look at me, I’m a catcher I’m a catcher Look at me – I’m a catcher, yeah Me and Mazz and Flynn and Glynn That’s what drove that team to win Me and Joel and dirty cleats are still surviving in my dreams And look at me, knees are battered, yeah I’ve been battered, but does it matter Does it matter, uhh-huhh Does it matter, uhh-huhh, I’m a catcher. Don’t you know that time late Mets went up, up, up, up, up To keep fans in this town, sure is tough, tough, tough, tough, tough, tough, tough. They got Piazza on the downslide Jeter uptown What a mess! This team’s in tatters! Who’s the catcher? My name’s forgotten, it’s nothin’, all over Manhattan. Shea-booty (catcher, catcher) Shea-booty (catcher, catcher) Uh huh, this team’s owned by money grabbers Go ahead, bite my big asshole You heard me, faggots. My ego’s battered Wilpons come around and they Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter Pile them up! Pile them high on the platter!

KC Nov 01 2005 05:50 PM

Nice use of shea booty.

Willets Point Nov 01 2005 05:54 PM

Deliberate pandering for my vote! ] I can’t give it away on Willets Point Avenue It might just work too.

Edgy DC Nov 01 2005 05:56 PM

Um... Some of these are becoming permanently linked to the oringal song in mind. I'll be 93 listening to the Stones and everyone will be wondering why I'm snickering about Shea-booty. Wow. I'm getting ready to pack it in.

MFS62 Nov 01 2005 06:31 PM

I'm not doing anything until I see Thon's entry. But this one will be tough to beat. Later

Edgy DC Nov 01 2005 07:06 PM

Pretty funny to parodize Stearns when he's posting at the level of the guy the Mets initially tried to replace Stearns with.

MFS62 Nov 01 2005 07:28 PM

Posting level is like Forrest Gump's proverbial box of chocolates. You never really know who you'll be until you click on the "post reply" button and see that you've changed. But that is funny, isn't it? Later

Nymr83 Nov 01 2005 07:43 PM

i just wish it would keep the post number and designation for when the post was made instead of the current one.

metsmarathon Nov 01 2005 08:45 PM

well, it ain't the stones, but it is GnR... October Pain When I look into your eyes I can see ‘em flush with pain Ron Darlin' waits to face you Don't I know you feel the same 'Cause Game Six lasts forever And Bob Knepper starts the game And Orosco throws it past ‘em Bringin’ cold October pain Playing Houston such a long long time Just tryin' to win the game Young pitchers always come young pitchers always go but no one's really sore we let him get away Traded away If we could break the tie we made it in the ninth I could rest my head Just knowin' that we were fine so fine just knowin’ mike scott pitches game seven if it came World Series facing Boston Or the cold October pain Did you see Mike Scott...on our team Did you see Mike Scott...all our own Everybody needs Mike Scott... on our team Don't you know we had Mike Scott...all our own I know it's hard to see him throwin’ hard we bring in Dan Heep out of from Hou- ston. if you could see him throw, Great Scott would your eyes be out to charm you Onetime we had Mike Scott...on our team Onetime we had Mike Scott...all our own Everybody needs Mike Scott... on their team Don't you know we had Mike Scott...all our own Almost four years subside And taught by Roger Craig I know that you been cutting well for Houston such a shame Game Seven Mike Scott pitches We still did find a way 'Cause Game Six lasts forever Leavin’ cold October pain Look at Ray Knight he sacrifices Look at Ray Knight he tied it up Winner in relief was Jesse Oh crap we really won Oh crap we really won ... if you can't figure it out, its november rain. the player is mike scott.

MFS62 Nov 01 2005 08:48 PM

Thon, that was worth waiting for. Later

sharpie Nov 02 2005 08:46 AM

]Deliberate pandering for my vote! Judging from early returns (outlying counties, I'm sure) I guess I should have pandered more. Somehow I probably could've gotten Cooby into there though MFS62 might've been hard.

Elster88 Nov 02 2005 09:03 AM

Both very nice. I'm going with the first parody I have seen of a song from the Greatest Band of All-Time.

Johnny Dickshot Nov 02 2005 09:15 AM

Sharpie's in the wrong line of work, whatever that is. You heard me, faggots.

Edgy DC Nov 02 2005 09:39 AM

Gay vote hurting Sharpie, I guess. No other explanation for the early returns.

MFS62 Nov 02 2005 09:44 AM

Somehow I probably could've gotten Cooby into there though MFS62 might've been hard. Hey, I try to post nice words for all entries. (I don't want to tick off anyone from voting for my entries) Sometimes I wait for the end of the contest to do it. Just because I said something nice should not be taken as any indication of how I voted. And, yeah, MFS62 is tough to squeeze into a song, eh? Later

sharpie Nov 02 2005 09:54 AM

]And, yeah, MFS62 is tough to squeeze into a song, eh? That was all I was trying to say.

Centerfield Nov 02 2005 11:06 AM

I had to go with the earl on this one...but picturing Stearns dancing around like Jagger and "Shea-Booty" was almost enough to swing it. Great job, both of you.

MFS62 Nov 02 2005 02:05 PM

Looks like voting closes at 9:45 PM tonight (24 hours after the second song was posted.) Its gonna' be a tight race down to the wire. Later

Centerfield Nov 02 2005 02:50 PM

sharpie making a nice comeback! What's the deal with marathon? Can't handle the pressure? He always chokes in these big spots!

sharpie Nov 02 2005 03:18 PM

Part of me wants to be involved in a cage-match face-off as described in the tiebreaking procedures in the other contest. Another part of me wants to stay far far away.

metsmarathon Nov 02 2005 03:18 PM

i need a new closer. and its only the first round. its not a even a really big spot yet. stupid bullpen!

Centerfield Nov 02 2005 03:58 PM

"Ok, I just spoke with Earl, and he wants you to challenge Pujols, understand? Just go right after him..."

Edgy DC Nov 02 2005 04:09 PM

Elevenses!

metsmarathon Nov 02 2005 05:20 PM

frick on a stick with a brick!

sharpie Nov 02 2005 08:49 PM

Final is a tie 12-12. Baseball does abhor a tie. I'm leaving town early tomorrow morning and will have limited computer access til next Tuesday night. If I can get the identity of the player quickly I can go next Wednesday at the latest. It is possible, however, that I could get on line Monday to post. Well, marathon, looks like we'll meet again.

Edgy DC Nov 02 2005 09:15 PM

Each of y'all PM me with a number from 1-500.

metsmarathon Nov 02 2005 09:29 PM

"We had a lot of discussion about tie-breaking last year. I think we decided that a random subject would be simultaneously assigned to both of the contestants, and they'd have a write-off." does this mean we both get the same player? or do we write about different players?

Edgy DC Nov 02 2005 09:29 PM

Both get the same player. I got marathon's number. Waiting on Sharpie's.

metsmarathon Nov 02 2005 09:30 PM

how oddly appropriate that i write a song about a tie game, and get myself in a tie game....

metsmarathon Nov 02 2005 09:38 PM

hey i got a vote! woohoo! i have no idea if it counts or not!

Nymr83 Nov 02 2005 10:27 PM

the vote wasn't in by 8:45pm (24 hours after the second song was posted.) just stating that as a fact for whatever its worth...

Edgy DC Nov 02 2005 10:58 PM

Both get the same player. I got marathon's number. Waiting on Sharpie's.

sharpie Nov 02 2005 11:35 PM

my number is in.

Edgy DC Nov 02 2005 11:41 PM

Eric Hillman is the challenge for both of you. I guess you can settle it when sharpie gets back in town.

Edgy DC Nov 02 2005 11:49 PM

Somebody came in late with a marathon vote. Too late. This ballot is closed.
